After losing his parents two years ago, now 17-year-old Mike is a city boy still trying to get used to small-town living, with godparents who didn’t expect him, a crush who doesn’t see him, and a teacher as his only real friend. Mike’s life is stiflingly bland.

That is until his affinity for history leads him to discover a secret—one that allows him to see the world from a different perspective—literally.

The ability to experience life within photographs is awesome—but there’s more going on than he realizes.

As Mike discovers the limits of his ability, he learns just how dangerous the past can be, and that sometimes there’s an even bigger picture.
